Neil,
I know nothing of the dollar figured charged as rent by Canada, but I can tell you that the size of BATUS is huge and the ability to do live fire battle runs with armoured infantry and support weapons is a huge value.
Considering the money sunk into infrastructure and vehicle hangars I would say it is unlikely but to be honest things change and who knows some former eastern european country might just offer the same facilities at a fraction of the cost and only a cross channel ferry ride away.
I do know the opportunity to snap these vehicles is thanks to the bean counters. All this stuff used to travel in one train but now is trucked in onesies and twosies.
